Almost
DDG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Almost broke my wrist, diamonds still keep spinning
Hol' up
Walk in the triller, blue like 150 (Fifty)
Stunt so hard, niggas might try to get me (Get me)
Almost broke my wrist but I still keep spinning (Spinning)
I came from nothing, got no choice but to fall
Throw the money up and watch them fall
Almost broke my wrist but I still keep spinning (Spinning)
Almost broke my wrist, diamonds still keep spinning (Spinning)
Said you got some racks but it's really all cap (Cappin')
Niggas sleepin' on me, need to wake up from they nap (Nappin')
I get foreign bags in every city on the map (Yeah)
I do it on the low, I do not do it for my snap (No)
I was making millions before I started with the rap (Rappin')
When I come on stage, everybody start to clap (Clappin')
I got it with the camera, I ain't getting out the trap (Trappin')
I do not know you niggas, do no reaching for the dab, no
Walk in the triller, blue like one fifty (Fifty)
Stunt so hard, niggas might try to get me (Get me)
Almost broke my wrist but I still keep spinning (Spinning)
Almost broke my wrist, diamonds still keep spinning (Spinning)
I came from nothing, got no choice but to part
Throw the money up and watch them fall
Almost broke my wrist but I still keep spinning (Spinning)
Almost broke my wrist, diamonds still keep spinning (Spinning)
Whole lotta hoes backstage and they waitin' (Waitin')
I don't show attention but they like me so they patient (Patient)
But do she really like me or the clout is what she chasin' (She fakin')
'Cause if that is the case then she won't get a conversation
No, these all be using me and this shit really my frustration
Walk past around my ex like I'm solving an equation
I got a different bitch in every city and location
It's fifty different bitches if I count my calculation
Walk in the triller, blue like 150 (Fifty)
Stunt so hard, niggas might try to get me (Get me)
Almost broke my wrist but I still keep spinning (Spinning)
Almost broke my wrist, diamonds still keep spinning (Spinning)
I came from nothing, got no choice but to part
Throw the money up and watch them fall
Almost broke my wrist but I still keep spinning (Spinning)
Almost broke my wrist, diamonds still keep spinning (Spinning)
